As the Braves kick off their homestand against the Guardians, you can read about the pitching matchup between Bryce Elder and Slade Cecconi in the game preview here. Michael Harris returns to his spot in centerfield and at the bottom of the lineup, as the Braves hope he can get better results, as he has […]
The two teams in MLB that are yet to lose a series will face off in Atlanta this weekend, as the Braves host the Guardians. Bryce Elder will take the mound in game 1 and the Braves hope he can keep up his hot start to the season. He has been getting the job done […]
The Dodgers are undefeated against the National League this season, and that will remain true through at least Sunday. A big part of that is their early schedule being heavily front-loaded with American League teams. Their first homestand included hosting the Cleveland Guardians, and they just completed a World Series rematch against the Blue Jays […]
The Atlanta Braves return to Truist Park and kick off the weekend with a three-game set against the Cleveland Guardians. The Braves enter play with an 8-5 record and are coming off a series win in Anaheim, where the run column was high, and emotions even higher. The Guardians come to town with the same […]
It was a disaster all around yesterday for the Royals, but some speculation states that the Guardians might’ve been stealing signs from the Royals. Cleveland broke open the game when Ángel Martínez hit a grand slam in the eighth inning off Steven Cruz. Rocchio was on second base and seemed to steal the Royals’ signs. […]
The rubber match of the first Cleveland series of the year will be played at noon like yesterday’s game. The difference is that they are not trying to have the sun help with the frigid temperatures, it is just when the game was scheduled to be, and it will be relatively balmy with much of […]
The reigning World Series MVP took the mound in Toronto on Tuesday for the first time since that fateful Game 7 of the 2025 World Series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto bounced back after being dealt a loss in his start against the Cleveland Guardians by tossing six innings of one-run ball while striking out six against the […]
In the second inning, Rookie of the Year candidate Carter Jensen crushed a belt-high cutter to the empty right field bleachers for a line drive home run. The homer was Jensen’s third of the year, and put the Royals ahead 1-0 against their divisional rivals, the Guardians. But that hit turned out to be the […]
It’s my first regular season gamethread of the year. We’ve made it! Last week’s Tuesday was an off day, so it’s the first Tuesday game of the year. Honored to be back. Now, we will all be watching this one from the comfort of our homes and, let’s be honest, offices. But if you made […]
For such a cold environment for a baseball game, the Royals hitters sure seemed red-hot today. I realize that’s not something you usually say after a simple 4-2 victory, but there was a ton of loud contact. Carter Jensen’s home run in the sixth inning was a 111mph scorching line drive that just barely cleared […]
After losing 2 of 3 against the Brewers, the Royals now take a short road trip to Cleveland early this week before returning home to face the White Sox later this week. The weather will be pretty cold in Cleveland for this series, so they’ve already moved tomorrow’s game up in time to be during […]
Go get ‘em, Shōta.
During the Marquee Sports Network broadcast of the Cubs’ 1-o win over the Guardians in Game 1 of Sunday’s doubleheader, Jim Deshaies referred to it as the headline reads: “a throwback from 1968.” That year was known as “The Year of The Pitcher,” with runs down all across MLB. The Cubs won four games by […]
Go get ‘em, Edward.
Today’s roster moves: Here I had not remembered a traditional, non-split doubleheader on the road for the Cubs in recent years. The last such doubleheader at Wrigley Field was Thursday, Aug. 3, 2006 vs. the Diamondbacks. So, naturally, I asked BCB’s JohnW53 if he knew. Of course he did! Here’s the answer. The Cubs have […]
